Transcendental Reunion

From the magnificent 2012 Ashes and Roses album. Mary uses a capo to play the chords at the 8th fret. This is tabbed for novice players to play the same chords in the open position. [Intro] [Verse 1] From 20000 feet high I saw the lights below me Twinkling just like Christmas We descended slowly And the curve of the world passed with all of that flying above the mighty ocean and now we all are arriving Grab the carry on baggage join the herd for the mad run take place in the long line where does everyone come from As we shuffle on forward as we wait for inspection Dont be holding that line up at the end lies redemption oh oh oh hey hey hey ah ah ah [Verse] Now I’m stamped and I’m waved through I take up my position at the mouth of the cannon saying prayers of contrition Please deliver my suitcase from all mischief and peril now the sight of it circling is a hymn to the faithful Forgive my staring for my unconcealed envy in the hall of arrivals where the great river empties Its hand carts and porters all the people it carries to be greeted with flowers grandfathers and babies oh oh oh hey hey hey oh oh oh [Instrumental] x4 [Verse 3] There is no one to meet me yet I’m all but surrounded by the tears and embracing by the joy unbounded The friends and relations Leaping over hemispheres Transcendental Reunion all borders vanish here We are travellers travelling we are gypsies together we’re philosophers gathering we are business or pleasure We are going or coming we are just finding our way to the next destination and from night into day oh oh oh hey hey hey oh oh oh oh oh oh hey hey hey oh oh oh [Outro] In a giant bird’s belly I flew over the ocean from twenty thousand feet high how those lights were glowing
